“Jude has been a tremendous leader and innovator for Allegiant,” said John Redmond, Allegiant president. “His efforts were critical to achieving a contract for our pilots – the first collective bargaining agreement in company history – and to designing and implementing a fleet transition which will bring operational efficiencies and economic benefits across the organization.”
“With Jude at the wheel of operations, we’ve seen network growth of over 200 incremental markets and world-leading profit margins,” said Maurice J. Gallagher, Jr., Allegiant chairman and CEO. “We are deeply saddened to lose him, and wish him every success in his future endeavors.”
Bricker will depart his position with Allegiant effective Friday, May 26, 2017. Scott Sheldon, executive vice president and chief financial officer, will act as interim chief operating officer until a successor is selected.
